Usage

The TOJIRO MV Yanagiba 240mm is designed specifically for preparing sashimi, sushi, and seafood dishes. Its name, Yanagi (meaning “willow blade”), comes from its long, slender shape resembling willow branches.

Unlike a Western chef’s knife, the Yanagiba is not meant for chopping straight down. Instead, it is used with a slicing and pulling motion, ensuring clean, precise cuts without damaging the delicate texture of fish.

Beyond Japanese cuisine, this knife has become popular in Western kitchens for slicing large roasted meats and other fine carving tasks.
